Frequently Asked Questions

How should I store leftover Strawberry Yogurt Dessert to keep it fresh?

Because this dessert contains fresh yogurt and strawberries, it's best stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To maintain the best texture, try to add the granola or crushed graham cracker layers just before serving to prevent them from getting soggy.

Can I make this Strawberry Yogurt Dessert ahead of time?

Yes, you can definitely prepare this dessert ahead of time! Mix the yogurt base and slice the strawberries up to 24 hours in advance. For the crispiest result, layer all components, including the granola and graham crackers, no more than 1-2 hours before you plan to serve it.

What can I substitute for granola or graham crackers in this yogurt parfait?

If you need a crunchy substitute, you have several great options! You can use crushed shortbread cookies, toasted nuts like pecans or almonds, or even crispy puffed rice cereal instead of the 1/2 cup of granola or crushed graham crackers for texture variation.
